Salisbury is the same way. He comes across as a complete jerk on air, and he can be a pretty loud guy off camera. But he works (worked) hard and is very approachable. Sometimes I feel like he tried to keep a persona up on-air that completely backfired.
As a sports fan, I'm not so upset that he's gone but as a colleague? Yeah he did some pretty awful things but overall he wasn't an ass on a regular basis. Unfortunately, there are several people who-surprising to many-are.
Rumor is FOX Sports has made him an offer

Although I don't always agree with him I thought Salisbury was pretty entertaining on TV. I would rather listen to him then a so called nice guy who can't spit out an inteligent sentence.
Your Green comments don't surprise me. I went to training camp for a week every year back in the 80's. Of all their top players Green was consistently among the most unapproachable. I wouldn't go as far as rude, but just not as open as the rest.
